Les Misérables
Victor Hugo
Ă propos de ce livre
It has been said that Victor Hugo has a street named after him in virtually every town in France. A major reason for the singular celebrity of this most popular and versatile of the great French writers is Les MisĂ©rables (1862). In this story of the trials of the peasant Jean Valjean â a man unjustly imprisoned, baffled by destiny, and hounded by his nemesis, the magnificently realized, ambiguously malevolent police detective Javert â Hugo achieves the sort of rare imaginative resonance that allows a work of art to transcend its genre.Les MisĂ©rables is at once a tense thriller that contains one of the most compelling chase scenes in all literature, an epic portrayal of the nineteenth-century French citizenry, and a vital drama â highly particularized and poetic in its rendition but universal in its implications â of the redemption of one human being.One of the half-dozen greatest novels of the world. âUpton SinclairThe greatest of all novels. âLeo TolstoyHugo is unquestionably the most powerful talent that has appeared in France in the nineteenth century. âFyodor DostoyevskyI sobbed and wailed and thought [books] were the greatest things. âSusan Sontag
